Chapter 299

Leanna closed her eyes, and it took a few minutes before she felt the space next to her sink down for a moment.

Immediately afterward, a warm man's body laid next to her.

When Leanna was about to move to the side, Aidan put an arm across her waist and asked in a low voice, "Don't you feel hot covering yourself with the blanket with so many layers of clothes on?"
